Jail Call Lyrics

I just got off the phone it was a jail call

Said they been doing him wrong

And it's been hell dog

He told me check on his mama

Make sure she well off

And to tell the streets he ain't fell off

But he got a son that he ain't there for

And he got a daughter he tryna care for

He wish he could tell them to just be careful

And let them know that it ain't their fault

I told him you my nigga but you gotta listen

Promise me it's gone be different when you out of prison

And promise your kids you gone stay out the system

Cause I know how it feel to have your father missing

All I know bout my daddy is he was dead off

A nigga came and blew his head off

He got in the car and wiped the red off

Witness say they heard a bomb then he sped off

I told him just cause I can do it

That don't mean that they can do it

Took a lot of hard work and tears

Just to make it through it

I been pushing pain out For years

Cause I'm living through it

Don't let your kids have the same influence

I just got off the phone it was a jail call

Said they been doing him wrong

And it's been hell dog

He told me check on his mama

Make sure she well off

And to tell the streets he ain't fell off

But he got a son that he ain't there for

And he got a daughter he tryna care for

He wish he could tell them to just be careful

And let them know that it ain't their fault

He done spent three birthdays behind the wall

Last time he seen her picture she got kind of tall

17 years old

But her guidance off

She don't even pay attention when her mama talk

Your son in school he got better plans

He seen u fail

And he wanna be a better man

He signed up for marines

To be a veteran

He told me tell you that he holding on the best he can

I told him just cause I can do it

That don't mean that they can do it

Took a lot of hard work and tears

Just to make it through it

I been pushing pain out For years

Cause I'm living through it

Don't let your kids have the same influence

I just got off the phone it was a jail call

Said they been doing him wrong

And it's been hell dog

He told me check on his mama

Make sure she well off

And to tell the streets he ain't fell off

But he got a son that he ain't there for

And he got a daughter he tryna care for

He wish he could tell them to just be careful

And let them know that it ain't their fault

We know that it ain't your fault
